The Florida Board of Bar Examiners say the state will not use the new version of the bar exam when it debuts in July 2026, reports Reuters. The test is currently being revamped by the National Conference of Bar Examiners. Florida is the fourth-largest bar exam jurisdiction in the U.S. behind New York, California and Texas. Nearly 2,800 law graduates took the exam in Florida in July 2022. The National Conference has said that it will offer jurisdictions a choice between the current Uniform Bar Exam and the NextGen Bar exam in 2026. But within two years states, will have to choose between the NextGen Bar exam or some other form of the test.
